Raj.

Hi Raj,
Please check note 493900, question 4:
4. Question :
Why is the release strategy not determined ?
For OVERALL RELEASE (purchase order and purchase requisition) the item fields such as Plant and Material Group will be aggregated to header level.
For example you use Plant as one of your characteristics. If all items do not belong to the same plant then the relase strategy
will not be found unless you have maintained a blank value as one of your allowed values for the characteristic Plant. If all items
belong to the same plant then that plant is aggregated to the header; if one or more is different then a blank is aggregated to
the header. See note 47089.

Mauro

How To Control Usage Of Purchase Order Type Depending Upon Material Group

Dear All,
Basically, we want that items belonging to some particular material groups must be ordered thru Order Type NB. Rest of all the materials must be ordered thru Order Type "ZNB". How can we achieve this....?
Any such provision in the configuration side...? Please advise further.
With Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

Hi,
Standard SAP not possible.
This requirement will be fullfilled by USER EXITS / BADI (ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST).
Take help of ABAP team for this as no standard configuration is available for the same in SAP.

Authorization control at material group

My requirement is to allow only some users to create sale order for the materials of the particular material group . I tried with the authorization object M_MATE_WGR .
It does not allow other users to change/display the materials with this material group . But still allows to create the sale order .
Is there any other options available to meet the requirement
Regards
Mani

Dear Manikanda
If the authorization level starts at sale order creation, then with the help of your Basis, you can certainly prevent this. But if you want to restrict only for a certain material group, may be you can try with
User exits in the program MV45AFZZ
USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP
with the help of ABABer.

Link b/w item category and material group

Hi All,
Is there any link between item category and material group.
Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
Item Category
Item Category is a control field that allows the PR to follow the correct path for the correct path for that category of PR. The SAP system is delivered with a set of item categories
Blank -Standard
K- Consignment
L- Sub Contracting
S- Third Party
D- Service
U- Stock Transfer
Selecting an item category allow the display of certain fields and not others
For Ex: If PR item has an item category K for conignment then invoice receipts will not be allowed
Material Group
Material group is a method of grouping of similar materials.It is defined either by using classification or by configuration. It is important not only for seracing the materials but also in other areas of purchasing
A purchace inforecord can be created with out a material number but must require materail group and vendor
Material group is configured through Tcode WG21
And i do not find any link between them
I hope this gave you the clarity
In case of any more information required do get back
If found helpful reward accordingly
Thanks & Regards

Material group issue

Dear All,
The requirement is for a particular material type the system should purpose the material group that belong to that material type only not all the material groups that are defined in the system.
Example;
Material groupV-belt, bearings, etc are meant for spare parts material type (ERSA)
Material group- pizza, burger, etc are meant for Finished goods (FERT).
When the user is creating a material for material type FERT, the system should purpose only material group pizza, burgers, etc not V-belt, bearing.
And when the user is creating material for material type ERSA, the system should purpose V-Belt, bearing, etc material group not pizza, burger, etc material group.
How this can be controlled?
regards
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
Material gropes are not belongs to particular material type. Therefore, this can't be controlled through customization.
You can change material group from one to another at any point of time. This is relevant for logistics / purchase information system.
Hope this information will be useful.

Payment Terms by Material/Material Group

Hi,
I realize that this topic has been covered many times in different threads. I've spent a day looking through threads and searching the internet, and am still fuzzy on the topic.
Our company needs to have different payment terms for two different groups of items. Group A needs payment by 30 days (Z003), and Group B needs payment by 90 days (Z009). Customers purchase these goods together in one order. I know there is no material master option for payment terms, but I have read about invoice splitting based on condition records set for materials or material groups, and I think that may work.
I think I have to set the payment terms in the condition record at VK11/VK31, and also have to configure the delivery to bill copy control in VTFL. This is all new to me, and I"m not sure where to start. I would just like to configure Z003 for Group A, Z009 for group B, and then have an invoice produced for each group upon a sales order being submitted. Any detailed help is appreciated!
Thanks,
J

Hans suggesstion is good.
Further to it,
Material group(MATKL) or Material Pricing Group (KONDM) are already in the allowed fields for pricing and you can use them. If you want to use any other field, then you need to add that specific field to the pricing catalog and also to pricing communication structure KOMPAZ.(ABAP will do that).
Create condition table with this newly added field and sales area based on your companies requirement.
Create Acc seq and assign the cond table to it
Create your condition type and assign the Acc Seq to it.
Add the Condition type to your pricing procedure at the end of all cond types...maintain it as statistical.
Then create the condition record using VK11 for this newly created condition type, maintain value / discount as *zero / blank and give the Paymnet terms which you need to be applied .
Then as per the materail, the payment terms from the condition record will flow in your order line item.
Sales Header Terms will be from Customer Master.
Invoice will split based on the different Payment terms at line item.
Thanks

PO Release by Material Group

Hello,
My PO release is by material group. I have material group A and B assignment in CL20N to the PO release strategy.
Problem: If I create a PO with 2 lines, one with material group A and one with material group B - No PO release strategy will be triggered.
Is there anyway that I can change my PO release strategy so that it will trigger if both material group A and B are used in the same PO?
Thanks.

Hi
How do you plan to assign Two values or say if your PO tomorrow is going to have multiple Item lines and each having different material groups , how you are planning to control it? Do you think you can always restricthe PO to a sigle line or double line, I feel practically this becomes difficult to achieve. Moreover you can assignem a single value only in the assignment filed to a characteristics.
Think some other object which is common for both hte material groups and try to control it. You shouldnever use two char.s and leave one assignment in classification field empty then it will not work at all.

Limit material group by material type

Hello experts,
When creating a material by tcode mm01 I would like to limit the material groups by material type, as it happens with valuation class.
It is possible? How can I achieve this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
JP

Hi JP,
You cant control this, since material groups are floating entities with no dependancies. You have to either create a screen variant in SHD0 (this doesnt support for a particular material type) or chk with your ABAPer to wrte a code to achieve this.

Material group field selection

Hi,
We configure the material group to be optional field in Material master (for some reasons) but when we create the purchasing view the system always ask for Fill up the Material group field. Is that mandatory field control for material group is hard coded in the program ??
Best regards,

Hi Eric
You are right.
This functionality (material group field mandatory in case of creating purchasign view) is controlled by program.

Restrict Vendor for material group

Hello Friends,
My client has a new requirement as below:-
I have material groups : 0001, 0002 and 0003
For Material Group 0001 : Only Vendors A, B & C are allowed.
For Material Group 0002 : Only Vendors B, C & D are allowed.
For Material Group 0003 : Only Vendors A, C & D are allowed.
Is this possible any ways. Please help.. If it is not possible in standard, please help with some user exit if any..
Thanks & have a great week end...

Friends,
I am closing this thread since I could find an answer myself the same is shared below hoping that the same will be useful for atleast few..
1) Create the Info record with material group without price (Make price non- mandatory in the config.)
2) Control creation of Info records and price update for Info records thru EVO Parameter and assign the same with user.
3) Make Info record mandatory for the PO
4) Make sure that Info records are maintained for the material vendor combination only where the vendor is a selected (If you dont any one of them control them thru sourcelist or block the vendor)
If this is done if you have not maintained atleast one PIR for material group vendor combination, you can not create a PO.
Guys, Pls let me know if this makes sense..

MM-SRV: Adopt Material Group from Service Master instead of default in SPRO

At my current client we are encountering a problem when creating requisitions for services. When the system was originally configured years ago, a default value for material group was entered in the IMG under:
Logistics > Materials Management > External Services Management > Source Determination and Default Values > For Client
Field is "Default material group at item level" (V_T165-MATKL)
Up to now this singular default value was fine because they only had one material group for services. They are now wanting to further stratify their services spend, so there are now several additional values for Material Group that can (and are) used among their service master records. Having a single default value for Material Group is resulting in incorrect reporting of spend per Material Group.
I removed the default value in the config node stated above, but now the problem is that when creating a requisition line for services (item category D) in ME51N, no value for Material Group comes in at all, resulting in an error because Material Group is a mandatory field. Making the field optional on the Field Selection Groups is not a valid solution, as they need Material Group for spend reporting.
What we really need is for the Material Group to be automatically copied over from the service master data, in the same manner that this takes place for the material group contained in a material master.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Hi,
1) If service master is used in the PO item, then the system will take the
material group from the service master (AC01).
2) If no service master is maintained then the system will take the
material group from the table T023. To be able to change this material group on services level - if you want a different material group on services level, you must set the field ESLL-MATKL for visible in the table control settings, and the change of the service group must be carried out manually.
Please be advised that it is the standard behaviour that the material
group on service level is not updated automatically after you have
changed the material group on purchasing level. The material group on
service level must be adjusted manually.
3) By default for service lines the system will consider the material
group which is entered at the Item level.
Services can have different material groups, therefore you can change
the material group at service level. The material group in service line
can be different and always takes higher priority from the material
group at the item level.

Classic Scenario change Material Group on PR

In a classic scenario can the material group be changed on PR created from approved SC.
We are unable to change it in our enviornment. Please confirm if it is standard SAP behaviour .
Thanks.

Hi Kumar,
You can definitely change the PR in ECC system if you are in Classic scenario.
Yes, even the material group can be changed in PR.
In classic scenario the Follow on documents of shopping cart either PR or P.O depending on the setting in the configuration can be changed in ECC system as they are the leading documents.
Check in case some exits or field controls have been put in place in your ECC system which would disable the ability to change some of the fields in PR.
Hope this makes you more clear.
Let us know in case of any further clarifications.

Teja

Condition Limit per material group

Hi all,
This is Puneet here, I have a requirement from customer to control manual changes for a condition type with sum tolerance % that is based on the material group.
However i can maintain upper limit or lower limit for a condition type but that doesn't serve my problem as for the same condition type for diffrent material groups the value is diffrent.
The other way around is to maintain upper and lower limit for each condition record but that will be a cumbersome procedure for client.
Is there any other way???
Do reply ASAP am stuck.
Edited by: Puneet MAkkar on Apr 30, 2008 3:26 PM

Hi Riyaz,
Well the process you are saying is fine .. infact i have mentioned that its a work around but let me explain u my question with an example:
Lets take an example of two bikes Pulsar and Karizma
Now i sell spare parts of both the bikes and i have a lower limit for each spare part and i maintain that in my records but my upper limit varies like 105% of lower limit in case of pulsar spare parts and 110% in case of karizma.
So i have to define sumwhere these 5% and 10 %(or 105 or 110) as per the material group.
I hope you understand this time.
If not do ask me for any other update.
Regards
Puneet

Disable a mandatory field in ME21N (Material Group)

Hi Experts,
Material group field is mandatory in ME21N. I need to disable the control on this field, how can I do this ?
In fact, I need to disable this mandatory field for a PO creation in reference to a Contract.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
BR,
Cesar

Hi,
If PO is created with material number this field is get defaulted from material master basic data view. But If PO is with short text means without material number, then material group is mandatory anyway..Its stadard SAP program behavior.
You are saying this field should be optional in case of PO with refernce to contract? Does it mean that Contract is not with material and it is with short text? Please elaborate little bit on your requirement so as to answer d same.
Deepak.
